Seattle Blogs on Twitter

The hyperlocal bloggers in Seattle send out their micro-messages via Twitter. Well, most of them do. And the others are will become wonderful follows in the future, I’m sure. Of course I’m totally unbiased on that 😉

@westseattleblog (very active)

@beaconhillblog (sort of in the game)

@Myballard (could do a little more)

@Fremontuniverse (Fremont is the center of the universe! That means they probably have too much going on to tweet it… right?)
